Gakushin Abrasion Tester is used to determine crocking, color transfer, and abrasion resistance of leather, fabric, vinyl, stitched seams, plastics and other materials. Each station includes a pair of suitable clamps to fix the sample on the movable plate and force friction arm. This friction arm has two clamps for fixing the friction materials.

The tester also can be used to determine crocking, color transfer, and abrasion resistance of leather, fabric, vinyl, stitched seams, plastics and other materials.Each station is equipped with a removable rub head and set of table clamps to facilitate up to six unique specimens tested simultaneously.Standard Rub Heads are 200g or 500g and come with spring clamps to attach specimens, crocking cloths, or abradants. Other rub head geometry and weight are available.Each test arm is counterbalanced to ensure that the test is performed with only the prescribed weight required. Available test weights include 300g, 500g, and 800g and may be used with either standard rub head.
It is used for evaluating a material's resistance to rubbing motion. Unit is a six station, benchtop machine which includes clamps for sample attachment to moving platen and clams for weighted rubbing arm for attachment of rubbing material. Cycle counter automatically stops machine at end of test cycles. Test samples are visually evaluated
